Fields of lava


We walked on some lava fields and tried to enjoy the last few days of summer before the winter comes.  Here is a typical Icelandic landscape of rock and moss.  The photo is not so nice (I have other photos) but in real life, one would be amazed at these rocks.  Holding one and just thinking about how it got to the surface (by volcanic eruptions and magma flowing and hardening) gives one a special feeling of being brought back in time.  
If you come to Iceland (especially in the summer)  I would recommend that you walk on some lava fields.  You can just walk a bit from the main road and then you will find yourself lost in some amazing raw, natural wonders of nature.  Watch out for the elves though.
